Buy and Sell Points Using Previous Days Open

[TheRealBigFudge]

Hello - This is surely an easy fix, but I seem to be stuck. My buy and sell points are utilizing the previous days open price instead of the open price on the trade day.

Example would be the last Buy indicator is today (12/13). It indicates Buy To Open @3939.29, which is yesterday's (12/12) Open Price.

Curious as to what I am doing wrong to get the Price to the Open for current day vs previous.

def triggerEnt = close[1] < close[2] ;

def TriggerExt = high[1] > high[2] ;

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, triggerEnt, open, arrowcolor = (Color.GREEN), name = "Buy");

AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, TriggerExt, open, arrowcolor = (Color.RED), name = "Sell");

Thank you in advance!

Change the buy order to

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, triggerEnt, open[-1], arrowcolor = (Color.GREEN), name = "Buy");

Change the buy order to

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, triggerEnt, open[-1], arrowcolor = (Color.GREEN), name = "Buy");

Ah, so simple! Thank you!!!

hello @SleepyZ @TheRealBigFudge .

thank you for your work so far

I would like to test something similiar to this but instead I want to reference yesterday's close.

So i want to capture a Gap Down Scenario where I sell

sell the close of yesterday(in the next day's session) i.e the opening gap has been filled and then cover the position
buying the next session open, given it opens lower than today's open.

e.g

Open the Trade
Sell 2/8 close when price crosses above it on 2/9

Close the Trade
On the open of 2/10 OR at a specified # of points profit say 40 Point on the ES


I tried experimenting with what you both wrote but it isn't showing me what i expect.

def triggerEnt = open[1] < close[-1] ;

def TriggerExt = low[1] < low[2] ;



AddOrder(OrderType.Sell_TO_OPEN, triggerEnt, open[-1], arrowcolor = (Color.GREEN), name = "Buy");

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_CLOSE, TriggerExt, open[-1], arrowcolor = (Color.RED), name = "Sell");

Thank you both or anyone who can chime in.
